Democracy for America Endorses Alan Grayson for United States Congress

Released: Wednesday, September 24, 2008
BURLINGTON, VT DemocracyForAmerica.com, our nation's largest progressive
political action community, has endorsed Alan Grayson's campaign to represent Floridas 8th Congressional District.
"Alan Grayson doesnt back down, he takes on the tough fights and wins,"
said Jim Dean, Chair of DFA. "Democracy for America is proud to endorse his campaign because Alan
Grayson will be a progressive champion for his constituents."
Alan Grayson is a Harvard-educated attorney who has built a powerful reputation
as a staunch opponent of government waste and fraud. As the founder and
manager of his own law firm, Alan Grayson has conducted what the Wall Street
Journal called a one-man war against contractor fraud in Iraq. Alan has been the plaintiffs attorney in
every False Claims Act case being actively litigated concerning contractor
fraud in Iraq.
Through the years, Alan Grayson has shown time and again he has the tenacity
and skills to get the job done. From a housing project in the Bronx to Harvard to working as a judges assistant in the District of
Columbia Circuit Court of Appeals to founding a Fortune 1000 company, IDT
Corp., to running a successful law practice, Alan is a hard worker with a record
of accomplishment that cannot be matched.
I am honored to have the endorsement of Democracy for America because I share DFAs mission of citizen
empowerment and grassroots organizing,
said Alan Grayson. This puts us one step closer to winning the election and
making real change in America.
"Alan Grayson will deliver for his constituents on health care and
returning good paying jobs to the District. His Republican opponent cant
say the same thing because his opponent has no plan," said Arshad
Hasan, Executive Director of DFA. "Alan Grayson knows the War in Iraq has been a drain on our resources and the reckless
policies of George Bush and John McCain have unnecessarily tarnished the United States standing in the world. Alan will work to end
this war and bring our brave men and women in uniform home."
